The staged reading is a pivotal moment in a playwright’s creative process. The first time the written word is spoken aloud and interpreted by actors is a moment full of power and magic. This is when jokes land in appreciative guffaws or fall flat in silence, when a play finds its rhythm and begins to chart its course. It is a thrilling, exciting time for our young playwrights and we invite you to be a part of the magic.
Through New Writers Now! you get a chance to view the process and provide constructive feedback. Join us at our next reading!
